Questions about West Virginia carpenter pay

What is the carpenter prevailing wage in Kanawha County?

$59.35 an hour: a $33.84 base wage plus $25.51 in fringe benefits, under wage determination WV20260038, modification 1. Overtime and every carpenter classification in Kanawha County.

Does carpenter prevailing wage include fringe benefits?

Yes. In Kanawha County the $59.35 total is a $33.84 base wage plus $25.51 in fringe benefits, about 43% of the total. The employer owes the full amount for every hour worked.

Does carpenter prevailing wage pay overtime in West Virginia?

Davis-Bacon rates are straight time. On contracts over $100,000, the Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requires 1½ times the basic rate for hours over 40 in a workweek (40 U.S.C. 3702). The fringe is owed for every hour at its straight-time amount.

Do apprentice carpenters get this rate?

Davis-Bacon determinations list journeyworker rates. Apprentices in a program registered with DOL or a recognized state agency can be paid the program's percentage of the rate, within its ratio; anyone else gets the full rate (29 CFR 5.5(a)(4)).

Why do some counties have the same carpenter rate?

DOL often publishes the same carpenter rates for several counties. Across West Virginia, the 55 counties with a carpenter rate fall into 54 distinct sets of rates, and 1 of those sets are shared by more than one county; the largest covers 2 counties (the Pendleton County group).
